Студия "Алхемист" на которой были записаны 2 прошлых альбома уходит в историю, но на её основе была разработана новая – снова полностью мобильная всё-в-одном студия. Именно на ней сейчас пишется восьмой и последний по контракту с EMI альбом Enigma.



Almost a year working on Michael Cretu's vision of an "all in one computed mobile studio" we finally present MERLIN - the new recording studio of ENIGMA's mastermind. "Merlin is not only a mobile studio, it fits perfectly to the way I am usually working. It can be seen at the intersection between playing, recording and mixing." Michael Cretu says. Similar to the prior "Alchemist" design study studio (which was used on the production of ENIGMA's "A Posteriori" and "Seven Lives Many Faces") Merlin combines the four key parameters of recording in one box: a computed recording environment, a modular hardware concept, a control surface and a surround monitoring system. Michael Cretu will be producing the forthcoming 8th ENIGMA album on this brand new studio concept. Since we all know that Michael loves to experiment with his new tech-toys, MERLIN will be an absolutely efficient and productive playground for the artist. Below is a rough overview of this mobile studio concept.

Computed Recording Environment
Merlin is a high-quality computer-based environment. Standard features include the latest versions of the sequencers Logic Pro and Native Instruments Bundles. It is, of course, possible to create customized solutions or to install additional recording software and hardware.

Modular Hardware Concept
The standard configuration of Merlin includes basic hardware components that can be expanded and upgraded to meet the requirements of the user. Based on a state-of-the-art Mac computer which delivers optimal processing power, all signals from synthesizers and interfaces are fed into Friend-Ship Digital Matrix, where they are processed and then supplied to a RTW Surround Module. A Base management system then translates the signals for the surround monitoring system.

Control Surface
The control surface is based on Euphonix MC Control (middle) and MC Mix (right) enhanced with a custom-designed panel on the left. This section features a program changer that facilitate access to and processing of certain parameters. It complements a modified surround control unit (supporting 7.1 surround) combined with a high-quality realtime-analyzer. Merlin comes with a master keyboard with 88 half weighted keys.

Surround Monitoring System
Merlin features one monitoring control unit which offers broad range of production possibilities from stereo production up to surround sound formats (5.1, 6.1 and 7.1). The central control unit for sound monitoring is the Base management device that controls the customized monitors ADAM 6.5 AMC. Based on this system we can also supply small-scale and compact solutions.
